Fireworks, fighter jet fly-bys, Celine Dion singing God Bless America, and a world-wide broadcast audience in the billions. Can your team execute their gameplan in this kind of environment?

"It ain't easy," says longtime Redskins GM Mike Manuel. The Redskins went to countless Super Bowls and always came away empty handed. "Until that magical 2030 season," continues Manuel. "Somehow everything clicked that season. Every break went our way. It was destiny. There is no feeling like it. Knowing that your name will forever be engraved on the Lorne Sundby Cup as the USAFL Champion."

Talk about respect. Only USAFL Champion GMs know what real respect feels like. You can suffer through a dozen straight losing seasons, but enjoy one moment in the Super Bowl spotlight and all is well in the universe.

Ah but advancing to the Super Bowl does have a down side. You will draft at the bottom of the order and have to endure one of the toughest schedules the following season. Not to mention only getting two Offer Sheets to work with during Free Agency while the other 16 teams get three sheets.
